Hundreds of handwritten pages from the World War II diary of a key Nazi adviser to Adolf Hitler have been posted online by the U.S. Holocaust Museum after federal authorities recovered the lost documents from a home in western New York.
The Buffalo News reports that officials at the Washington, D.C., museum announced Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement transferred the diary of Alfred Rosenberg to the museum. Some 400 pages of the diary have been posted on the museum’s website.
Rosenberg, a close confidant of Hitler, was a Nazi ideologue and propagandist whose writings espoused the superiority of Aryan culture over the Jewish race. He was convicted at the Nuremberg trials and hanged in 1946.
Delaware-based federal investigators seized the diary earlier this year at a home in Lewiston, north of Buffalo.

“…. whose writings espoused the superiority of Aryan culture over the Jewish race….”
We must start showing HKB”H that we are the opposite of our tormentors. We absolutely disdain and detest such a notion that one group of human beings gets created more superior than another group.
In this Zchus we can hope that HKB”H should, Never-Again bring on any Holocausts or Pogroms against us.
Yira: We are the Am Hanivchor, the Chosen People.
Don’t be embarrassed by that fact.
Ben Torah, we are chosen to do more and to have more responsibilities not chosen to look down at everyone else.
